This LS 2014 Elections ... will you, the voter, make a promise ?

“The AAP will make no promises to you. Instead it will ask you to make a promise. This time you will not cast your vote on the basis of kinship. You will forget caste; you will drive away the distributors of alcohol and money. AAP has not come to ask you for your vote. If there is anything we ask of you, it is to have faith in yourselves; and to listen to the voice of your soul. This election is not about the victory or defeat of political parties; it is about victory or defeat within ourselves. In front of the voting machine, we must think of the future of our children, the future of our city and our dreams for the future of our country.” Short link http://bit.ly/meera4mumbai

Thanks to Vice Admiral IC Rao, who has personally
delivered and discussed the report with the Hon Shipping Minister, the
senior most officials in the Ministries of Shipping and Urban
Development and the Mumbai Port Trust, we are now confident that that
our proposals will merit serious consideration.

As you are
aware the report of the Rani Jadhav PortLands redevelopment committee
is not yet in the public domain. However we understand from informal
sources, that they too have incorporated many of the citizens'
suggestions proposed by us - specifically the legislative framework we
have proposed as well as our strong recommendation that this
area be used primarily for much needed Public infrastructure, Social
utilities and Open Spaces.

Over the past weeks I
have addressed media (especially through the medium of Radio) and many
students gatherings, most recently the Zephyrus conference at St
Xaviers, to share our perspective on the PortLands. I am delighted at
the response by young people from all walks of life who wish to come
together to re-claim this beautiful part of our city, and prevent
another land grab, as took place in the unfortunate Mill Lands.

Should you too wish to join the #PortLands movement, please
write in to us at apliportlands@gmail.com, sharing your area of
expertise and how you would like to be involved.

As
encouraging as the progress on Mumbai's PortLands, has been the
response to the call for Good Governance and clean politics in the
Delhi elections. I am sure we will all look back to
the elections of February 2015 as a turning point in Indian politics.
AAP's contribution to clean politics is simple and evident - had it
not been for AAP, our main opposition would not replace their local
Party head, who had serious allegations of corruption against him,
within a few days of his appointment and a mere 3 weeks before the
election.

Campaigning in Delhi it is clear that this is
going to be a close fight. What stands out is the quality of
AAPs candidates. MLA's who had won in last year's elections,
clearly command the loyalty and confidence of voters in their
constituency - as they have spent every Rupee of their MLA LAD funds
on tangible projects within their constituencies in consultation with
local citizens, ALM's and RWAs. They have been accessible, honest and
efficient - the response by voters as we have campaigned has been
uniformly positive.

Candidates who lost in the last
election - many by very slim margins have been hard at work for the
past year. Campaigning with them has been an eye opener and a great
learning. They have worked tirelessly for the past year to find
concrete solutions to issues in their constituencies - and during
campaigning speak simply and straight forwardly of what their action
plans are.

It has been a pleasure and privilege to campaign
for these honest and upright candidates. It has also been wonderful to
stand alongside volunteers from across our country and many from
overseas who have assembled in Delhi to support deserving AAP
candidates.

Today we start the final and most important
leg of campaigning. Please do consider joining as a volunteer or donor
- this is the time to be part of the change !
Warm
regards

Arvind Kejriwal at CII

Why did Arvind Kejriwal resigned as the Delhi Chief Minister?

Well, here is the answer.

AAP got only 28 of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly election. Still, the Lt Governor invited Arvind to form the government, as the Congress (with 8 seats) had offered unconditional support. Finding it hard to believe, Arvind sent a letter to the Congress President listing out the 18 points in the AAP manifesto, including passing of the Jan Lokpal bill. The Congress reverted saying it will support AAP unconditionally on all 18 points. With this commitment, Arvind formed the minority government in Delhi.

However, when AAP presented the Jan Lokpal bill in the Assembly, the Congress and the BJP came together to ensure the bill is not passed. The Aam Aadmi Party had won the vote and trust of citizens of Delhi on the plank of anti corruption. And since the minority government could not pass the Jan Lokpal bill that was promised to citizens of Delhi, Arvind resigned.

Who do you think will win the Mumbai South LS Seat?
